An accident occurred Tuesday involving four motorcycles in the presidential motorcade, according to the White House.

There were no serious injuries resulting from the crash, which happened while President Donald Trump was traveling to a speech in Louisiana.

“Breaking: Trump’s vehicle is fine, but some officers who are part of his motorcade crashed. We could see at least a couple officers on ground and injured,” Bloomberg News White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted, who was with Trump in Louisiana.

I saw 3 officers down on Interstate 10 near Lake Charles as Trump motorcade headed to Hackberry.

One in grassy ditch, sitting up. One flat on his back on highway shoulder, bleeding. A third standing up, bleeding from his arm.
